Doc Rivers announced Tuesday that the Celtics have agreed to a two-year
contract with second-round pick Luke Harangody. Terms of the deal were
not disclosed. The Notre Dame alum met briefly with the media following
the Shaquille O’Neal press conference.

“It’s a great feeling to have a little job security, especially
guaranteed,” Harangody said. “It helps me sleep easier at night. And to
sign the contract is also a great feeling as well.”

The 52nd pick of the 2010 draft, Harangody joins a star-filled front
court in Boston. However, the prospect of playing with Shaquille O’Neal
does not intimidate the former All-Big East player.

The word out of Cleveland is that a strained right elbow and and a bone
bruise of his olecranon were what had LeBron James shooting a free throw
with his left hand at the end of Cleveland’s 94-96 series-clinching win
over Chicago Tuesday night.

Like a lot of people who saw replays of James wincing as he held his
right arm after using it to make a free throw, Celtics center Kendrick
Perkins was puzzled.

The Celtics have identified what is believed to be a relatively small
field of potential free agents now that the deadline for player buyouts
has passed.

A Celtics source confirmed yesterday the primary target is veteran
swingman Michael Finley, who was bought out of his contract by San
Antonio on Monday. Finley is expected to clear waivers tonight. The
team also is interested, to a lesser degree, in free agent guard Larry
Hughes.

Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge said Friday he
has not discussed trades involving the Charlotte Bobcats or Washington
Wizards.

"There is no truth to either one of those," Ainge said. "I have had
conversations with a lot of teams but those have never been discussed.
There are a lot of things I would like to do but I don’t feel a need to
do something. I am always looking to upgrade the team, if possible."

Kevin Garnett still barks and bellows on the court, clasps his hands
and yet the roar now rings hollow. Down the floor and back again, the
Boston Celtics star drags his battered knee. He has dragged it from one
season into the next, and now comes a growing sector within the
organization that wonders whether Garnett should be further resting the
surgically repaired knee.
